Chapter 102: Lin~Astronomical Price~Yi
"That is to say, Nike surrendered?" Lin Yi looked at his manager Zhong Muchen and said.
Zhong Muchen nodded, "Nike hopes to sign you with a four-year contract of 75 million yuan. I have tested it, and I confirm that this is their highest offer."
In fact, Nike has no way not to admit defeat!
Lin Yi is now the darling of New York fans. They still have a bit of a B number in their hearts about how strong the Knicks fans are. What's more, there is a Chinese market behind Lin Yi?
In addition, Lin Yi recently yelled the slogan of the city of lobs, and now even TNT feels that they should arrange a few more Knicks games in the new season.
If they don't raise the price again, Nike is afraid that if their competitors, especially Adi, go crazy and suddenly give Lin Yi a contract that breaks the market rules, Nike will be embarrassing.
This contract from Nike is already very big. Lin Yi remembers that before the Eagle County incident, the contract that Nike gave Kobe was only more than 40 million U.S. dollars for five years.
After the signing of this contract, Lin Yi's sneaker endorsement contract income will also step into the forefront of NBA sneaker contract income.
It just so happened that Lin Yi had a few projects to invest in. The contract came at a very critical time, and the contract was for four years. After four years, Lin Yi could continue to open his mouth.
With this sponsorship, Lin Yi can start to build his own "game empire" plan. Lin Yi remembers that when Tencent bought Riot Games in 2011, it spent 231 million US dollars, holding 22.34% of the shares before the transaction. Holding 92.78% of the shares.
The American server of League of Legends will be officially released on October 27 this year. There are not many people who are optimistic about League of Legends now, otherwise Tencent will directly acquire Riot Games during this period.
Lin Yi knew that League of Legends would quickly spread all over the world. Even before he crossed over, League of Legends was extremely popular even after being impacted and influenced by Chicken Eater and Glory of Kings.
Lin Yi doesn't mind cooperating with Tencent in the future, but the premise is to wait for him to make a lot of money first.
After signing the contract with Nike, Lin Yi easily asked Zhong Muchen to find an investment expert named Alexander Wang. This Chinese-American investment expert was very interested in cooperating with Lin Yi. With the help of Lin Yi, Lin Yi easily acquired 62% of Riot's shares for 65 million US dollars.
Next, Lin Yi was going to hand over the company to Alexander Wang to take care of him, and gave him two game plans written by Lin Yi when he was studying in Davidson.
Lin Yi plans to let Riot Games start making chicken-eating games after the League of Legends starts to catch fire. Blue Hole is too unreliable, and we must not let that kind of unscrupulous company make money!
The other plan is for King of Glory. As mobile phones become more and more intelligent, Lin Yi is well aware of the horror of this game. In Lin Yi's previous life, this game was made by Tencent himself. Now that Lin Yi has returned to the original owner, he feels that The Glory of Kings developed by the fist company will definitely be more fun, at least the skin fee will not be so pitiful.
In addition, Lin Yi gave Zhong Muchen a list, which recorded the names of many NBA players who have not become popular in the future. Thinking that these NBA stars will all work for him under his banner in the future, Lin Yi thought I feel very excited just thinking about it.
And these stars don't know that the boss behind the scenes is themselves, cool!
This is also the reason why Lin Yi wanted to train his own agents in the first place. Those big-name agents may not listen to him when they make money, but now he eats Zhong Muchen to death.
To put it bluntly, if Lin Yi eats meat, he will give him soup, but the premise must be that Lin Yi eats the meat first.
Zhong Muchen now thinks that Lin Yi is too good. Not only is he a good player, but he is also very far-sighted. For example, if he does not sign with Nike for the time being, if he changes to another rookie, he will probably have already signed with Nike. But what about Lin Yi? I have been waiting for a price to sell, and finally got a sky-high price contract as I wished. We must know that this requires not only the ability to predict the market,
It also requires absolute confidence in one's own strength.
Wasn't Carter cheated by Puma because of his lack of self-confidence?
Zhong Muchen didn't know much about investing in game companies, but he felt that Lin Yi must be right.
After this wave of investment, Lin Yi didn’t have much cash in his account, so Lin Yi asked Zhong Muchen to pay attention to some endorsements from China. No matter how small a grasshopper is, it’s still meat. Money is the capital of the revolution in the 21st century. hard.
After the benefits of League of Legends began to be reflected, Lin Yi planned to directly build a live broadcast platform while the iron was hot. In fact, the live broadcast had already begun to appear during this period, but it had not yet fully exploded. Lin Yi only needed to light a light to make the live broadcast popular All over America.
Moreover, there are much fewer restrictions on foreign live broadcasts. Lin Yi's favorite thing to do before was to watch all kinds of bad live broadcasts abroad.
On October 7th, in the Knicks' fourth preseason game, D'Antoni arranged for Lin Yi to take a rest. The Knicks also need to investigate other players. Now that all NBA teams are still familiar with Lin Yi, D'Antoni is not They will give them materials to study Lin Yi.
Slowly study the videos of Lin Yi's NCAA and previous games!
...
On October 8, Lin Yi, who was resting at home, received a call from Elizabeth Olsen.
Elizabeth Olsen's tone on the phone was a little anxious, because the hamster named "Pippi" was sick.
When Lin Yi arrived at Elizabeth Olsen's apartment, the beautiful blond girl was already sweating profusely, "It has been lying like this all the time, occasionally barking twice."
Lin Yi glanced at the hamster named Pippi. The hamster's belly was completely swollen, with a look of lovelessness on his face, and roared, roared, roaring from time to time, even the sound was very loud. desolate.
"Did you feed too much?" Lin Yi's guess was indeed right. Even a woman can't stand a cute animal. Elizabeth Olsen thinks this hamster is very cute, so she can't help feeding more Some, but this kind of pet with low IQ will not feel that it will stop eating when it is full, so it eats into a "ball shape" like it is now.
Lin Yi suggested to Elizabeth Olsen to buy a cage that would allow the Pippi Mouse to exercise. Elizabeth Olsen was relieved to know that Pippi Mouse was fine.
Speaking of which, Elizabeth Olsen hadn't filmed "Double-faced Martha" and "Old Boy" at this time. She is just a student now, and she is still a blank slate, and she hasn't even talked to her boyfriend.
Now that he has become her friend, Lin Yi certainly doesn't want to see her making R-rated movies with the slogan of literary movies.
To put it bluntly, Lin Yi has ten thousand ways to make her popular in the future, even if she doesn't play the Scarlet Witch, it doesn't matter, Lin Yi is planning to make a big movie of "League of Legends", once the capital is in place, Lin Yi's script You can get it out right away.
At that time, it would be nice to let this girl play a trick witch. After all, Elizabeth Olsen was handed over by Lin Yi in the United States. Apart from the opposite sex that Curry brought him to know, it was the first friend of the opposite sex in the true sense, and Lin Yi liked Elizabeth Olsen's carefree personality very much.
Elizabeth Olsen is a simple foodie. In the future, even if she has made an R-rated movie, she will admit it generously. She has a lot of fans on Twitter. She does not pretend to be innocent. She has a straightforward personality and is not the kind of bitch. Lin Yi didn't want to see the "goddess" degenerate, so he planned to help her.
...
The two went shopping together, and Lin Yi felt that it was necessary to hire a bodyguard for him, because there were fans asking for autographs along the way.
Elizabeth Olsen had already worn a pair of the highest high heels when she went out, but she was still much shorter than Lin Yi.
She would peek at Lin Yi from time to time, and now in her eyes, Lin Yi was a big shot, and Elizabeth Olsen couldn't help but feel a little inferior in her heart.
Lin Yi didn't know that his shopping with Elizabeth Olsen had already been photographed by some paparazzi.
The paparazzi are all-pervasive, and Lin Yi is hard to guard against.
After the two bought a cage that allowed Pippi Mouse to run infinitely at the pet store, Lin Yi treated Elizabeth Olsen to an ice cream.
"You know so many delicious foods, have you really only lived in New York for two months?" Elizabeth Olsen said with emotion.
Lin Yi nodded, he is also very keen on eating this business, if not for keeping fit, Lin Yi believes that he can eat the whole America.
Elizabeth Olsen, who bought the cage and ate ice cream, looked satisfied. She had lived in the shadow of her sisters since she was a child, but since she told her sisters that he knew Lin Yi last time, the sisters were all shocked eyes.
Tickets to the Knicks are quite expensive, let alone the VIP seats beside the stadium?
Moreover, Lin Yi is now the number one celebrity in New York. Even Eli Manning, the star quarterback of the NFL New York Giants, claims that he is a fan of Lin Yi.
Elizabeth Olsen suddenly felt that it was a very happy thing that the baseball hit that day.
Just when Lin Yi was about to send Elizabeth Olsen home, the two passed by the stray dog adoption center in New York. A brown husky rushed towards Elizabeth Olsen. Lin Yi wanted to stop it, but he didn't Thinking that Elizabeth Olsen seemed to have a natural attraction for pets, the Erhu who was about to go crazy suddenly stopped and circled around her.
Girls who can be favored by pets are generally not too bad in character. Elizabeth Olsen touched the head of this Erha, and then said to Lin Yi: "It's so cute!"
Lin Yi didn't want to make any comments on Erha, a miraculous species, at this moment, an American old man over 70 years old came out from the adoption center, "I'm really sorry, this dog just got frightened and ran out. "
Lin Yi signaled that the old man was fine, so don't be nervous.
And the old man looked at Elizabeth Olsen in surprise, wondering, this Erha has such a good temper?
All this may be a kind of fate!
So the old man said to Lin Yi and Elizabeth Olsen: "Miss, it seems that it likes you very much."
Elizabeth Olsen nodded. She likes pets very much and has always wanted to have a dog.
The old man told Lin Yi and Elizabeth Olsen that the stray dog had just undergone castration and might not be in a good mood. Elizabeth Olsen felt sorry for the dog when she heard this, so after discussing with Lin Yi, Elizabeth Olsen decided to adopt this stray dog together with Lin Yi. Elizabeth Olsen, who usually has nothing to do, took care of it, and Lin Yi took care of the dog food.
"Say, what name should you give it?" Elizabeth Olsen and Lin Yi asked curiously while going through the adoption procedures.
"Hmm..." Lin Yi observed for a while, this erha's eyes were very unique, like a prince among dogs, and there happened to be a bunch of red hair on the top of its head.
"Let's call it Sakaski?" In one of Lin Yi's favorite cartoons, there was an admiral named Sakaski, nicknamed Red Dog, and Chinese fans prefer to call him Red Dog .
Since it is fate, the name of this Erha is Sakaski.
Elizabeth Olsen nodded, Sakaski, that's a pretty good name!
